Ingredients for Fritters:

2 large zucchini (or 5 medium zucchinis)

2 large eggs

½ cup green onion/chives

1 cup all purpose Flour

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tbsp black pepper

1 ½ tsp salt

Olive oil (for frying)

Ingredients for Tzatziki Dip:

1 large cucumber

1-2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 ½ cup Greek yogurt

½ cup sour cream

1 tbsp salt & pepper

Fresh dill

olive oil (for drizzle)

Instructions For Zucchini Fritters

  1. Grate the zucchini and place in a bowl with salt and set aside for 10-15 minutes to release the water.
  2. Squeeze out the water from zucchini (using hands or a cheesecloth) and place in a bowl.
  3. Add all the remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir until the flour is incorporated.
  4. In a large frying pan, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil.
  5. Once heated, add about an ice cream scoop amount of the batter into the pan and slightly spread into a round shape (like a pancake). Four fritters should fit in a large frying pan at a time. Add more olive oil as needed for frying.
  6. Flip the fritter when it becomes a golden brown (it will take a few minutes on each side).
  7. Repeat the process for the remaining batter.
